Bukhari meets Mikati, urges Lebanese leaders to elect president

Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari on Wednesday met with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati at the Grand Serail.

Speaking after the talks, Bukhari stressed “the need to continue the common efforts to encourage Lebanon’s leaders to elect a president and carry on with the drastic reforms.”

His remarks come three days after French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman “expressed mutual concern over the situation in Lebanon” and reiterated “their determination to work together to help pull the country out of the deep crisis it is going through.”
